| | rantnrave:// GOOGLE CULTURAL INSTITUTE unveiled "We Wear Culture," bringing fashion collections and exhibitions to the internet in digital form. Love seeing projects like this supported by a company with resources the size of Google. It's a coup for non-profit institutions often faced with limited resources for sharing collections online. Now if only these kinds of experimental projects could come together for the fashion industry (outside of advertising). VIKRAM ALEXEI KANSARA visited Google Cultural Institute and his analysis and interview with program manager KATE LAUTERBACH contain some great insights into why Google would take on such a project. A question I have about the platform is how much crossover it will gain in cultural spheres outside non-profits and the GOOGLE ARTS & CULTURE platform. Nice to see this kind of thinking... Is NYFW roving once more around our fair NYC? The CFDA is reportedly scouting new locations around the city (and in some form of negotiation with the owners of SKYLIGHT CLARKSON SQUARE). The only thing certain is that NYFW is making moves. The Clarkson Square venue was far from perfect, and it felt almost consumer-facing last season—will that continue for 2018? It will be interesting to see if fashion week becomes further spread out over the city... Not a good day for HUDSON'S BAY, which will cut 2,000 jobs... GYPSY SPORT x BRUJAS: It's a campaign, it's a collab, it's a party... Who knew THIRD EYE BLIND member STEPHAN JENKINS was a fashion *and* GRAILED enthusiast? Great interview...

| Senator Feinstein’s outfit choice for former FBI director Mr. Comey’s testimony was striking for a number of reasons. It speaks to the often overlooked and/or undermined fact that individuals’ -- particularly women’s -- interest in fashion can, in fact, co-exist with interest in “more serious” matters. | | |

| Most fashion designers finish a show season and make a quick exit for the sandy shores of Tulum or Tahiti. Not Grace Wales Bonner. A couple of days after her last London Fashion Week Men’s show Britain’s most exciting menswear designer flew off to Sierra Leone, a country better known for civil war and blood diamonds than for its beautiful beaches, to shoot a portfolio with British singer Sampha. | | |

| "When we were approached by Stephan Jenkins' team to partner up on private sale, I was blown away. Despite being such a fan of his band Third Eye Blind since they exploded onto the late-90s alternative rock scene with their now classic self-titled debut, I had absolutely no idea that Stephan was such a fashion enthusiast. And we're not talking about some casual fashion observer here." | | |
